Ashdod-Yam

Ashdod-Yam (Greek: Άζωτος παράλιος, romanized: Azotus Paralios, lit. 'Ashdod on the Sea') is an ancient port city on the Mediterranean coast of Israel, located in the southern part of the modern city of Ashdod, and about 5 kilometres northwest of the ancient site of Tel Ashdod, where ancient Ashdod stood in the time of the Philistines. Ashdod-Yam and its inland counterpart, Ashdod or Azotus Mesogaios (Άζωτος Μεσόγειος), were for most of their history two closely connected but distinct entities. Much of the surrounding environ is covered by sand dunes and remains unexplored.
